Neon is a big trend for spring/summer, but wearing it can pose a challenge. Here are a few tips to help you navigate through the bright colors of the season:
A little goes a long way:
Neon worn with neon is a bit much. Mix one great intensely colored piece with something more subtle.
The 80’s are over:
Black can be harsh with strong neon colors and takes us back to the 80’s. To look completely modern, mix neon with white, grey, beige or denim, for a less jarring effect. Stripes can also be a great foil for all the strong color.
Softer is easier:
Head to toe neon can be overwhelming, but soft whitened versions of the same color family can work really well together. Try a soft pink with a neon pink, or a pale green with an acid green.
A little dab will do you:
Just a touch of neon in an accessory can be an instant update without making the whole outfit loud. Look for neon shoes, belts or bags as a great way to lift any outfit.
Neon nail polish is a short term commitment. Try a little on your fingers or toes for a fun, temporary trial on the trend.
